SikaWrap®-600 C
Carbon fibre, unidirectional, mid-strength fabric with a fibre area density of 600 g/m2 designed for wet application
SikaWrap®-600 C is a unidirectional stitched, non-woven, heavy woven carbon fibre fabric. The Product is made of mid-range strength carbon fibres with an area density of 600 g/m2. The fabric is designed for installation using the wet application process.
- Improves the service life of a structure.
- Manufactured with thermo-welded weft fibres to keep the fabric stable.
- Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications.
- Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (such as beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos, etc.).
- Low density for minimal additional weight.
Usage
SikaWrap®-600 C is used as a reinforcement fabric for externally bonded structural strengthening systems on concrete, masonry and wooden substrates. Externally bonded structural strengthening systems are used for:- Increasing the flexural and shear loading capacity of elements and structures.
- Enhancing the load-carrying capacity or ductility of structural members in compression.
- Replacing missing steel reinforcement.
- Structural upgrading of weak concrete elements or structures.
- Improving impact resistance.
- Passive strengthening for seismic event protection.
- A specialist Structural Engineer must be consulted for any structural strengthening design calculation.
Advantages

| Primer | ~0.6 to 0.8 kg/m² |
| Fabric Layers | ~1.0 kg/m² |
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Tensile adhesion strength of the substrate must be a minimum of 1.0 N/mm2, or as specified in the strengthening design. If necessary, verify this by applying a test area first.
Refer to the relevant SikaWrap® Method Statement (MS 850 41 03 SikaWrap® Manual Wet Application) for further information.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Clean and prepare concrete to achieve a laitance-free, contaminant-free, open-textured surface.
Refer to the relevant SikaWrap® Method Statement (MS 850 41 03 SikaWrap® Manual Wet Application) for further information.
APPLICATION
IMPORTANT
Application by trained personnel
The application of this Product must only be carried out by an applicator that is trained or approved by Sika®. The applicator must also be experienced in this type of application.
IMPORTANT
Strictly follow installation procedures
Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions, which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.
IMPORTANT
Do not interchange different System components
SikaWrap® fabrics are coated to ensure maximum bond and durability with the Sikadur® adhesives, impregnating and laminating resins. To maintain and ensure full System compatibility, do not interchange different System components.
- IMPORTANT: Never fold the fabric. Cut the fabric with special scissors, a razor knife, or a box-cutter knife.
- Apply the SikaWrap® fabric using the wet application process. Refer to Method Statement: MS 850 41 03 SikaWrap® Manual Wet Application.
OVERCOATING SIKAWRAP® FABRICS
SikaWrap® fabrics can be overcoated with a cementitious overlay or other coatings for aesthetic or protective purposes. The selection of the overcoating System depends on the exposure and project-specific requirements.
